Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Yummy grilled pork tenderloin! So easy to make, and my kids love it. The "secret" ingredient, Chile Morita, or smoked jalapeno peppers, gives this grilled pork a smoky complex flavor without kicking up the spice too much.

1.5 lb Pork Tenderloin

1 Tbs olive oil

2 cloves garlic, mashed or paste

2 tsp chile morita

1 tsp sea salt

1 tsp fresh ground pepper

BBQ sauce (optional)

Preheat the grill.  Use wire brush to remove old particles.


Pat dry the pork tenderloin. Mix all seasonings into a wet rub and rub into the tenderloin. Allow to marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Place on grill, and turn quarter turns as necessary.  Grill until internal temperature reaches 155°. Remove from grill, cover with foil and allow to rest 5 - 10 minutes. Slice into medallions and serve with BBQ sauce!
